    Im all for bringing back seating.... either way, Im fine. I dont need to have GA and my seats on the side are more than fine.
    Sure, my seats would be infinitely better without GA, but oh well.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    bring back reserved seating. obviously pearl jam fans aren't mature enough to handle standing in line to earn their spot where they desire once in the venue.
    Who gives a shit what people are doing outside of the venue?? GA is for when you're IN the building! I find it hard to believe that people would want to get rid of awesome GA just because there are 50 people acting like dicks outside of the building hours before the show. :roll: This handful of idiots and what they do long before the show even starts have the power to ruin things for thousands of people and the band?? Wow, they are more powerful than I thought! The list has nothing to do with the actual state of the pit.

    Doesn't really matter who has the numbers. The band likes it. But seriously, when you see the excitement and joy in the pit and the higher level of energy it brings to the band, why would anyone want to get rid of it, even if they.... what? Can't stand for 3 or 4 hours I guess??

    Just to be clear where I stand (haha, I know no one gives a shit, but I mean to explain my prior comments). I have no problem with GA in and of itself. What scares the shit out of me is that if this whole list thing pisses off enough or the wrong kind of people it is eventually going to get ugly and hearing some of this has me fearful of a freaking riot. That will impact everything.
    Not like I've seen every line with a list, but what I have seen doesn't make me think that the situation is even remotely nearing anything like that. There are some people acting like dicks, and some people getting annoyed, but there isn't any actual violent rage or anything close to it. I don't think there is any risk here. It's just unfair and fucking irritating. :)

    I just don't understand why these listers bother. It's like they have OCD or something. Everyone who shows up even half an hour before doors gets an amazing spot.

    EXACTLY! If everyone who wanted to be close just showed up half an hour before the doors, they'd probably STILL get the rail or be very very close. The hand numbers are ruining it by having OCD. I walked into Phoenix's floor at 8:10 and ended up 10 people from the stage.

    I've seen the line when picking up Ten Club tix but never long enough to draw any conclusions so all my "experience" is based on the stories here. That's actually good to hear that more is being made of it than what really is going on.

    Still, I'm very glad I wasn't in that line with that chic shrieking because it would have been hard not to yell back at her and probably get my butt kicked (knowing my luck) by her pro boxer boyfriend. :lol:

    my friend and I got #17 and 18 at 9am in OK city...
    we came back at 515pm and kinda non chelont made our way past the 100+ people to the front of the line...
    it was pure luck and I got the rail between ed and stone... was my 14th show since 95' and I'm pretty sure it will be my one and only time ever being that close...

    I'm so thankful of the Number system but did hear a lot of people noting they knew nothing about it...
    and quite frankly,... I was amazed they even let us up to the front before the doors opened...
    granite we were being extremely friendly,...but if people would have said "no way, back of the line"...
    I would have gone to the back and not been upset at all...
    the internet has so much good to offer, but just as much bad as well and evil as well...
    so for people not "in the know" or don't live "on line" I give them much respect....
    and the end of the day,... I think I have to agree with the first come first serve policy...
    specially when tix are sold....someday I hope it goes back to half the tickets are printed up and sold at the venue in a first come first serve on a particular Saturday morning......that would be a dream though...

    I read other's and keep an open mind on this....as I can totally see both sides also...


    This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever fucking read.
    :lol: I thought it was a joke! :lol: ..... But there is a good point there.... why are people such fucking sheep? I don't get why the majority are letting the minority rule. The people farther back in the line (like after the first 120 or so) really can't do anything about it, and have no reason to anyway since they aren't tight wads about the rail, or else they'd show up earlier. But wtf are all those people from 20 - 120 doing letting people leave for hours and then get back in line? ... Those list people should be really happy that I won't wait all day, because if I was up there I'd probably throw a shit fit. :lol:

    20 shows later...
    20 lines and lists...
    People have complained about these assholes.......

    Yet NOBODY here has truly called anyone out on this.
    Why the fuck not?
    I am sure SOMEBODY here knows EXACTLY who these assholes are who are running these BULLSHIT lists.

    Yet nobody calls these fuckers out?

    I don't get it.

    What makes these fucking pieces of shit so special?
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    The list is a total joke. In San Diego some gal with black hair and a voice that could peel paint was running it. I was about 90-120 deep and nobody around me had a number. When she came back to "line up" everyone, the group in front of me said they didn't have number, didn't know about the number and that was the end of it. It still pissed a bunch of people off to see a large group stroll up in line just because they got a "number". I find it humorous that the "number system" is an indication of the people who seem to move in the opposite direction of the band they hold so near and dear to their hearts.
